I,m not happy with the result from Bolzano, Italian hockey is nowhere near as good as Czech or Russian hockey and if Storm and British hockey had ant real intensions of competing in Europe then the arguement that the current Storm squad have had the opportunity of playing in the NHL does not hold water because the Bolzano squad have not had the same opportunity and yet the Storm lost. However I still expect the Storm to beat the Italians at the Nynex but they are still a long way away from quailfying to the next rounds.
